Interactive fighting environments are fun, but what really sets Power Stone apart are the power stones. Collecting all three stones transforms the character into a superbeing, unlocking new and devastating attacks. Since the overall goal of the game is to beat up your opponent, and the superform lets you do the most damage, competition for the stones is fierce.
If you're tired of the standard fighting game formula and want a little more, Power Stone is the game for you. It's a perfect translation of the arcade hit, and the uncomplicated, frantic combat will bring a grin to many a jaded gamer's face. --Mike Fehlauer

I love this innovative game. The combat system is so fun. Picking up objects and throwing them at your oponents will give you significant advantage over them. The transformation after you collect all three power stones is so cool! I like the fact that everyone gets a chance to evolve and to become the strongest fighter.
Rating: - Great Action game
Power Stone is one of the great gems on the Dreamcast. This game was a breakthrough among fighting/action games. It is a 3D versus fighter, with tons of special moves, destructable environments, weapons and other items you can pick up and use, environmental traps and gadgets that can help or hinder you, and environmental objects you can use to jump off of, climb on, tear down, etc. It is a combination "capture the flag"/fighter where everyone goes dashing around for powerups and attacks each other to get them to drop their power stones. Once someone collects all the power stones, they go into their super mode and it becomes a game of cat and mouse until the effects wear off and the power stones fly off in random directions. This game is totally fun, totally original, and totally worth buying a Dreamcast if only to play this one game.

Power Stone is a fun filled action game that every one will like. It has fast action! Fast pace baby! The way I like it. The desighn is great. The level desighn in Power stone is awesome.
Gameplay is great! Thats what it's all about. Gameplay. It's also easy to use and learn. The game will last for awhile but You will eventually get bored with it. But not for awhile.
This game is great...I give it 5/5....It's really good trust me.
I haven't played Power Stone 2 though. But get this game.....

If you want a game that you can master in 5 mins with any character then POWER STONE IS IT. I beat the game as I got it once I discovered "the formula"...
I'll list the pros and cons to give you a fair rundown
Pros 1) Characters are unique and fun with personality, i.e. personal story, ending etc (missing from PS2) 2) Backrounds are the BOSS and fully interactive 3) The moves and effects are radical (King Capcom shines here) 4) Fast action 5) Cool Japanese voices
Cons 1) One dimensional fighting sucks as a 3D fighting game!! 2) Weapons make no sense once you know the formula! They just slow you down and make you a prime target for the formula!!
Overall Overall this is a DISAPPOINTING attempt at a fighting game. The concept is good but the fighting engine is flawed. Powerstone 2 got it right and is a blast, read my review!
Rating: - The craziest 3D fighter game yet!
Capcom goes all out on animation, action, and humor with this 3D fighter game. It is a whole lot better when you play with two people despite the fact their are unlockables in the game. There are also mad moves you can do off poles, walls, on other miscelaneous objects found in the game. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to play Capcom or Squaresoft games.
